Cooper Buelna brings size, rim presence, and a physical interior edge for Rockford
In the 2025-26 season, Buelna has played in one game for Rockford, scoring 4 points in 11 minutes while shooting 2-for-3 from the field, and his season profile already hints at a low-usage, high-effort big who can finish efficiently and rebound his area.[1][2] Rockford lists him as a center and a NACC Scholar-Athlete, while his prep profile described him as a strong, physical player whose strengths are rebounds, defense, and put-backs—traits that translate well if you need toughness, energy, and interior reliability more than volume scoring.[3][4]
